Problem Capturing Video when using A/D converter

I'm reasonably new to Final cut, but not a complete novice.
I have had good success in the past capturing video and also using the log and batch capture feature using a DV tape in my camcorder and having FCP control the camcorder.
Now I tried something that I have done in my past when I was using imovie 06. I have a VHS tape in my VCR connected to my Mac through my camcorder which acts as an A/D converter.
The problem is that when I do a log/capture and capture now, I start my VCR and see the video in the viewer but the capture window says that it can't find a timecode and remains black.
Can someone give me some advise on what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks,
Steve

Thanks for the help.. could you point me in the right direction on where I set this setting? I looked in my Lisa Brenneis FCP6 book and I can't find a 'capture protocol' in the index.
Thanks,
Steve.

  • My macbook has problems streaming video when using an external monitor

    I have a MacBook from 2007.  I have a converter so that the MacBook can be connected to an external monitor, and have connected it to my TV.  This works fine, but if I am streaming videos and trying to watch on the TV, the streaming becomes very choppy, almost like the wireless connection is too slow.  If I unplug the computer from the TV, however, the streaming returns to normal.  I previously connected to a TV with an S-video connection and the problem did not seem as prominent.  Now I am connecting to a HD tv using an HDMI connection.
    Any suggestions for how to alleviate this?  I haven't updated or upgraded the memory or RAM, possibly that would help?  Would the amount of files I am storing be causing the problem?  I currently have 50 GB available.
    Thanks for any help!
    Conor

    Make sure your Mac is set to a resolution and frequency that your monitor supports.
    The other possibility is that your graphics card is fried, but that seems unlikely since your computer is new. Before too long, you should make sure your graphics card is OK using the Apple Hardware Test, but I'm not sure how reliable that is because it claims that my partially broken graphics card is OK.

  • Problem uploading videos when using Cutetube.

    When I try to upload a video, I get the following error message displayed:
    "Error - Server response is:"
    Having tried several times it then said:
    "Error - Server response is: Bad Request"
    Does anyone know what this means or how I can resolve it?
    Also the other day my phone froze and it said something about hildon shutting down. I can't remember the exact message. Could this be the problem?
    Thanks

    Welcome to Apple Discussions!
    This usually occurs when your iPod is set to manually manage songs and playlists. Try setting your iPod to automatically update. Also, try dragging the videos to the iPod (under Source on the left of iTunes).

    pixelation problems occurs in my videos when using adobe flash but using chromes pepper flash no problemes so its definitely adobe problems on my WIndows 8.1

    Problem is:
    Flash Player for IE11 (which is the worst browser ever developed - BAR NONE) is a Microsoft product, when it comes right down to it.
    Adobe writes the base code and yes, they do collaborate on updates for it, but the gang in Redmond alter the plug-in and add "proprietary" code before embedding it, and at that point it's "their baby".
    There are two (2) registry keys - 1 for 32 bit IE and the other for 64 bit IE, as well as a KB patch that prevent all but the most experienced Windows users from ever touching the Flash Player plug-in for IE. So there's NO WAY you could have done a clean install of the ActiveX plug-in in Windows 8. Unless you're an uber-geek, you can only update it through Windows Update.
    WIn 8 is an abomination and IE11 made it worse. IE has always been the "problem child" of browsers, failing to handle CSS, Javascript, some PHP and most design "tweaks" that good webmasters can use with other browsers, trouble free.
    I have IE8 on XP, 9 on VIsta, 11 on 7, 10 on 8 and 11 on 8.1... but they're all for testing only. I'd have to be out of my mind to ever think of using IE as my primary browser. ActiveX controls have to be disabled formost stuff and that opens millions of security holes in IE.
    You've got a good video card and a decent sound card. It's a shame to waste them on a pile of garbage like IE, just because it came with Windows.

  • Problems Capturing Video via FireWire

    I have had problems capturing video via firewire on my MacBook Pro. It is an early 2008 model. I have tried capturing video using multiple programs, cables and cameras. In both Final Cut Express and iMovie ('08 and '09) I loose the connection mysteriously. It just stops sensing my camera mid capture. I can shut the computer down, programs down and cameras down but nothing seems to work consistently in getting it to work. The weird part is that it does work some times. Recently I tried an auto capture of a whole miniDV tape through a sony handicam via iMovie '09. It got 20mins of the tape then stopped and rewound the tape. When trying it again it read "connection error". I could not get it to work. I put the computer to sleep and came back later. It worked but only captured about 10 minutes then shut down the whole camera and import completely. I switched to manual import and it will now only let me capture about 20 seconds at a time. What is going on? To me it seems like the port itself is malfunctioning and disconnecting the signal randomly. Has anyone else experienced this? What is the cause and what can I do about it?

    I've been reading the forums and it seems that there is an issue with the Firewire port in general. I have an external firewire 800 HD and when copying large files or a large number of files the HD gets dismounted unexpectedly. Your case seems similar in that we are both transferring large files via Firewire. Anyone have any fixes for this?

  • I get sound no video when using AirPlay.  Any ideas?

    I get sound no video when using AirPlay.  Any ideas?

    Do you get an "HDCP error"?
    Since the last ATV software update, I have had  problems playing You Tube content from the iPad to the ATV using airplay, yet the same content from the You Tube channel on the ATV plays fine. I get the dreaded "HDCP error" which is nonsense, as YouTube content does not have this protection. Netflix also gives the same error. (I have posted seperately about this problem.)
    I have had a couple of years of fault-free playing with my setup, the only thing that has changed is the Apple ATV software. Ergo, they need to fix whatever bug they introduced. None of the recommended "fixes" have worked.

  • Problem in JDBC , when using LIKE operator. - VERY URGENT

    Problem in JDBC , when using LIKE operator.
    LINE 1 : String temp = "AA";
    LINE 2 : String query = "select * from emp where EMPNAME like '*temp*' ";
    LINE 3 : Staement st = con.createStaement();
    LINE 4 : ResultSet rs = st.executeQuery(query);
    '*' character is not getting evaluated. In MS ACCESS2000 only * is accepted instead of '%'. Moreover in MS ACCESS the like operator has to be used within double quotes as a String. whereas in other databases, it accepts single quotes as a String.
    Ex:
    In MS ACCESS
         select * from emp where ename like "*aa*";
    Other Databases
         select * from emp where ename like '%aa%';
    In my situation iam passing a Variable inside a like operator and '*' is used.
    For the above Scenario, Please help me out.
    If possible Kindly let me know the exact Syntax.
    Please give me the answer as LINE1,LINE2,LINE3,LINE4,
    I have verified in JDBC Spec also, it has been specified to use escape sequence.that too did not work.
    Due to this, My project is in hold for about 4 days. I could not find a suitable solution.
    Please help me out.

    I made a LIKE clause work with M$ Access, using PreparedStatement and the % wildcard:
                escapeStr                   = "%";
                String sql                  = "SELECT USERNAME, PASSWORD FROM USERS WHERE USERNAME LIKE ?";
                PreparedStatement statement = connection.prepareStatement(sql);
                statement.setString(1, ("user" + escapeStr));
                ResultSet resultSet         = statement.executeQuery();
                while (resultSet.next())
                    System.out.println("username: " + resultSet.getObject("USERNAME") + " password: " + resultSet.getObject("PASSWORD"));

  • Problem with SDO_relate when using polygons with holes.

    I'm having a problem with sdo_relate. I'm trying to extract all elements from a point table (bdtq_batim_p) that are inside a specific polygon from another table (SDA_MUNIC_SS). The spatial index for both table have been rebuilt and the data from both table is valid.
    When I do a count on the query, I know the answer should be 1422 elements (Counted in ArcGIS). However, sdo_relate gives a smaller number of elements in the result set.
    The query :
    SELECT count(distinct t.identifiant) FROM bdtq_batim_p t, SDA_MUNIC_SS s WHERE s.mus_co_geo = '48015' and sdo_relate( t.SHAPE,s.SHAPE,'mask=anyinteract querytype=window') = 'TRUE'
    returns 282 elements. The query with mask=inside, SDO_Anyinteract() and SDO_inside() all give the same result.
    I did a test with the following query and the result is 1422 (which is the good result).
    SELECT count(distinct t.identifiant) FROM bdtq_batim_p t, SDA_MUNIC_SS s WHERE s.mus_co_geo = '48015' and SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE( t.SHAPE,s.SHAPE,'distance=0') = 'TRUE';
    It's important to note that the polygone (from SDA_MUNIC_SS) that is used for this query have holes in it. I have the same problem with all the polygons from the SDA_MUNIC_SS table that have holes in it. For the polygon without holes, the results are the same for the 2 queries.
    My question are :
    Why are the result from the two queries different? A query with a buffer of 0 should always return the same result as a query with Anyinteract.
    Is there a known problem with SDO_RELATE when using a polygon with holes in it?
    Do you have any idea how to solve my problem.

    Since i don't have much control on the version of Oracle and Patches that we use in the system, we used a workaround that detects the polygons with holes and uses the SDO_WITHIN_DISTANCE( t.SHAPE,s.SHAPE,'distance=0') = 'TRUE' operator in those case. We saw a slight decline in performance but it now returns the right results. When the system will be patched, we'll come back to the original version and see if the problem is solved.

    To build CD's???
    What problem does Encore have with DL?
    If DL is not working properly for you the way around this is to export from Premiere to either mpeg2-dvd for DVD or BluRay H.264 for BD-disks and import the files in Encore.

  • Error when using cast and convert to datetime

    I run a stored procedure
    usp_ABC
    as
    begin
    delete from #temp1 
    where #temp1.ResID not in 
    ( select Col1 
    from TableA 
    where ( @I_vId = -1 or Doc_Field_ID = @I_vId)
    and ColA1 = 2  and FieldValue !=''
    and cast ( FieldValue as DATETIME ) = cast (@strvalue_index as DATETIME)
    and ResID = #temp1.ResID
    and TypesId = @I_vTypeId
    end
    But return message "Conversion failed when converting date and/or time from character string.'
    Format of Column FieldValue is nvarchar(400)
    @strvalue_index = '05/05/2013'
    So I see in article http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174450.aspx MS say about MS SQL Server and SQL Server Compact.
    Then I re-write proc:
    delete from #temp1 
    where #temp1.ResID not in 
    ( select Col1 
    from TableA 
    where ( @I_vId = -1 or Doc_Field_ID = @I_vId)
    and ColA1 = 2  and FieldValue !=''
    and cast ( cast(FieldValue as nvarchar(200)) as DATETIME ) = cast (@strvalue_index as DATETIME)
    and ResID = #temp1.ResID
    and TypesId = @I_vTypeId
    so stored run success.
    I don't understand how?
    When i run only statement in MS SQL Studio Management, the statement run success.
    Thanks all,

    No bad dates in my data.
    Apparently you have. Or, as Johnny Bell pointed out, there is a clash with date formats. Did you try the query with isdate()?
    For SQL 2008, you need
      CASE WHEN isdate(FieldValue) = 1
           THEN CAST (FieldValue AS datetime)
      END =
      CASE WHEN isdate(@strvalue_index) = 1
           THEN CAST (@strvalue_index AS datetime)
      END
    Erland Sommarskog, SQL Server MVP, [email protected]
    I think date formats is OK. So when I re-write stored:
    and cast ( FieldValue as DATETIME ) = cast (@strvalue_index as DATETIME)
    =>
    and cast ( cast(FieldValue as varchar(200)) as DATETIME ) = cast (@strvalue_index as DATETIME)
    the stored procedure will run success. I see in http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms174450.aspx MS
    has an IMPORTANT:
     Important
    When using CAST or CONVERT for nchar, nvarchar, binary, and varbinary,
    SQL Server truncates values to maximum of 30 characters. SQL Server Compact allows 4000 for nchar and nvarchar, and 8000 for binary and varbinary. Due
    to this, results generated by querying SQL Server and SQL Server Compact are different. In cases where the size of the data types is specified such as nchar(200), nvarchar(200), binary(400), varbinary(400), the results are consistent across SQL Server and
    SQL Server Compact.
    I can't explain it in this case
